Which type of object would likely be non-luminous?

A non-luminous object is one that does not emit its own light but can reflect light from other sources. A table fits this description because it relies on external light, such as sunlight or artificial light, to be illuminated.

In contrast, a star is a massive, luminous object that produces light through nuclear fusion. An LED bulb is designed specifically to emit light when electricity passes through it, and a flashlight also emits light through its bulb when turned on. These objects create their own light, making them luminous rather than non-luminous. Understanding the difference between luminous and non-luminous objects helps clarify how light interacts with various materials in our environment.
